The News and the Truth
 IN THE Springfield Republican

The Springfield Republican, established in 1924 by Samuel Bowles, is universally recog- nized as one of the leading newspapers of America. It publishes the most thorough and comprehensive reports of New England News, and ably represents the best New Eng land ideas. It gathers carefully the impor- tant news of the whole country and of the world, and presents it in compact and read able form. The Weekly Republican is called by many the best review of American life anywhere printed.
 It is vigorous, but reasonable in the ex- pression of it's editorial opinions, which are progressive, independent and liberal. It is devoted to the interests of the whole people rather than to those of any party. Recogniz- ing the good and oondemning the evil repre- sented in the chief political bodies as now constituted, it gives it's support to the side that offers the largest measure of advance ment toward better, purer government and happier, more equitable social conditions.
 It deals with all the vital issues of the day and offers it's readers abundant and interest ing examples of good literature.
 The Daily Republican is sold for $8 year, S2 quarter, 70 cents month, cents a copy.
 The Sunday Republican is S2 a year, 50 cents quarter, cents copy.
 The Weekly Republican is $1 year, 60 cents for six months; 10 cents month for trial subscriptions.

The amount above assessed on towns is certainly not very burdensome. So far as the principle is concerned it has always seemed to us that, where rail roads were laid over existing highways, they should pay all expences resulting from such layout; but that, where the highways were laid over existing rail roads, the towns should be at the ex- pense of the necessary crossings. It is absurd to expect that all grade cross ings are to be abolished. It would necessitate the abandonment of some of the weaker railroad ines.-[Ltchfeld Enuuirer.
